Re: New user - 2013 PCX 150
Thanks to Hyadum for posting my Red PCX!
Thanks to the other of the "club" for your attention and posts!
Next week I must solve with the topcase; the initial room offered by this scooter is a small one; I can't accomodate any of my helmet, excepting a very cheap (10 USD) plastic braincap, chinese product...Shame on me, I use it until I will have a topcase!!!(next week).
So, what capacity of topcase will be the best for the small panther PCX???

Any capacity topcase will work, as long as it fits your topcase base. Some people have mounted HUGE Givi ones, others the small stock Honda one.

Re: New user - 2013 PCX 150
Right!...For me I guess a medium capacity will be satisfactory; space for one full helmet and some extra room; in range of 35-45 Liters. It is difficlut to find, the shops do not keep stocs.

Re: New user - 2013 PCX 150
I have ordered a 48L Top Case from the german manufacturer Hepco & Becker. Details below.
Dimensions (WxHxD): 55 x 30 x 40 cm
Volume: approx 48 liters
Color: Black
Storage: fits 2 full face helmets
Delivery: including universal adapter plate and mounting hardware
Since it's only 3cm longer, 1cm taller and same width as the standard 42L, I went for the 2 full face helmet one. It's about 80 euros.

Re: New user - 2013 PCX 150
Hello again guys!
I haven't posted in a long time due to various reasons. After my last post in July 2013 I had a failed surgery that kept me for 45 days in medical leave and 3-4 months off the bike, so the year 2013 for me was compromised, I only managed to ride for 2 weeks. In 2014 and 2015 I used my PCX only for going to work, about 16-20km of city driving each day.
This year in 2016 spring came very early, so I am already one week into the new season. I now have 7500km on board and planning my second maintenance. No issues whatsoever this far, 2 years of driving without incidents or trouble. I've seen some PCX's in the country, but not so many. I've seen alot of them in Italy, Spain and Greece during my travels.

To continue this story, I had my 2013 PCX for more than 4 years without any incidents or bad experiences. I can recommend it to anyone.
I sold mine 2 weeks ago at 13600 km for 2000 euros. I have saved so much money from fuel and low maintenance, that I could buy a new one

Re: New user - 2013 PCX 150
Awesome story. It almost makes me wish gas was more expensive here.
By the time I license, insure, and change tires on my PCX, it cost more than many THOUSANDS of miles of commuting by car...
